My darling, I can only    hope and pray this reaches you. Last   one. I’m the  last one… Have all their     bodies ˜ here.. around me. It’s a    nightm are   .  night ma re

So many attacked    us in the night. Pinned   us in these rocks.. lost a lot of blood.. and they’re sti ll close. Can hear    them shouting. Tryin g to th i n k  of yo u. to smi le. So beau ti ful you ar e  to  me.    

I’m ˜   not afraid  to die.. I’m dead    already.. fingers jus t won’t stop writing.. I’m just    afraid I won’t see you    again.. and never see our new baby˜.. Let her know her   daddy will always watch over her.. that I tried     so hard to    fight back..we all did..   to   ˜do what’s right. Tell her to never give up.. no matter  ho w  many  tell he r  it ca n’t  be do ne.

Growing weak.. God   have mercy on our souls… I hear    footsteps.. closer now.. someone here..  my God  . Dar li   n g I l  ov e  ˜  ˜

Quite shocking, in it's wording plus how it's written. It made me wonder the reason but also added to the intensity of this work.
It grabbed my stomach pit. Thank you

What a sad poem, Craig and it reached the reader and makes me think of the horrors of war .... you did a great job getting these feelings down.

Wow, that was so beautiful, the format flowed very well. Your word choice was very powerful, and it pulled me in instantly.

[A.Lee]

Wow.... I don't even know what to say about this. You brought tears to my eyes with just the first few words. Very gripping and so heartfelt and painful. Amazing job writing this. The way you physically broke up the words and letters just added to the reality of it. Great work.

Such a great layout that immediately pulls you in to a sorrowful last letter of a dying man........bought a lump to my throat.
